Case alternative

Hi everyone,

although the case that comes with the Note2 is pretty neat, from my point of view it lacks some functionality. You can't effectively use it as a stand, neither in portrait nor in landscape mode, and the protection is quite limited.

Here is a link to a case that works better for me:

https://www.caselogic.com/de-de/products/sleeves-and-cases/case-logic-surefit-rotating-folio-for-9-10-tablet-_-crue_-_1110_-_black 

Sorry that it's a german link, but I also checked CaseLogic US, and they don't list that item.

This one does not include a stylus holder or loop, but I will attach an external holder for that purpose. However, it can be used as a stand, in both portrait and landscape modes.

Cheers,

Carsten

  Additional information: 

  This is a stylus sleeve that works pretty well with the case mentioned above:

  Hi Carsten, yes, I agree, the original case isn't so practical... I bought this one https://www.amazon.it/dp/B07V3RG8FL it's light and nice, but you can use it only in landscape mode as a stand.
  It has pen holder, I'm quite satisfied for now... I hope Onyx will produce something better in the future! :)
  Ciao, Valeria

  Hi Valeria,

  yes, that one is nice too, the only limitation is the landscape-only mode.However, the case I mentioned in the OP, in combination with the pen holder from my comment, works really well.

  I am also going to try an external keyboard (Logitech K380) with it soon and will post my experiences here. 

  Ciao :)

  I had no trouble getting a Logitech K810 and Lenovo external keyboard to be recognized by my Nova 2. However, on both keyboards after about 10 minutes of use, the keyboard starts entering what appear to be Korean or perhaps Chinese characters and I can no longer enter any English characters. These characters appear at the bottom of the screen, BTW, and not in the main body until I hit "enter".

  I have checked all the obvious settings (US English selected as the language, US English selected as the keyboard type), but everything appears to be correct. In addition, everything is OK until about 10 minutes elapses, so it does not appear to be an initial setting. It also has occurred using at least two different keyboards, so that does not appear to be the issue either.

  Waiting on tech support now. Will post any solutions
